Urgent attention needs to be given to:
- Fixing the infrastructure at the Homevale Sewerage Works.

- Appointment of an independent management agent to manage the Homevale Sewerage Works.

The following also needs attention:
- It has been estimated that as much as 40% of Kimberley’s potable water is lost through leaking pipes of which a great portion is collected in the city’s sewerage network, further increasing the sewage volume beyond the capacity of Kimberley’s sewerage works. This is of major concern, especially in an arid environment where water resources are scarce. Urgent attention needs to be given to repairing these leaks.

- Kimberley needs to make more efficient use of its water resources by, for example, promoting dual toilet flushing systems, encouraging indigenous gardening, and using grey water systems. This can only be achieved through an efficient water use strategy.

- If treated to acceptable levels, greater use can be made of sewage water to irrigate Kimberley’s gardens, parks and sports fields.
